The same man that Obama says is a moral compass for him. The same man that Obama has known for at least 15 years.

Obama may try to say that there never really was anything between him and Pfleger, but that would be a lie on Obama's part. Pfleger was still - until a few days ago - an advisor to Obama.

Obama has said that Pfleger has been a moral compass for him.

The question now becomes, does Obama have a single longterm close association who isn't a raving anti-American, anti-Semitic, tinfoil hat wearing, terrorist-sympathizing lunatic?

Obama’s Church: Hillary Cried Because White Supremacy Failed

BTW, the Hillary camp isn’t pleased with Obama reaction to Pfleger’s rant. They feel it leaves much to be desired.

He [Fr. Plfleger] counseled Obama Tuesday morning...

Obama: "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned . . . ."

Pfleger: "Very well, Son. How many times?"

No, I seriously doubt it was like that.

I have now given enough here to show that Obama can’t say that Pfleger is just some looney that he didn’t know very well.

Obama knows him well.

"Obama: I Have A Deep Faith"

Yeah, but the problem is that that "deep faith" is in the "Gospel according to Marx".

All of this,too early this year. Now, the question is how much of this drip drippping can be traced back to you-know-whose campaign?

You are known by the company you keep. And Obama keeps company with the worst of the worst kind of people.

Worse yet, he takes his children to the church that preaches hate and racism. So this is what he wants his children to grow up to think? To be racists and hate white people?

20 years in that church. Sad..... really really sad.

I hope more of BHO’s “friends” speak in public for all to hear. Let them speak openly of themselves and their views. Let Americans get good stong whiff of them so they can ask themselves if they want to smell it for the next 4 years.

How does that saying go? “You are known by who your friends are”.

Poor Barry, he ain’t gonna be able to skate so easy this time. The bus he threw crazy jeremiah, his grandmother, and his great crazy uncle under won’t fit too many more of his fellow travelers. Even the liberal blogs are showing signs of cracking under these continued stories of him with racist clergy. I used to think it would be the drip drip drip of things that would get Barry, now I think a tsunami is coming and he will be washed away.

The good Father Pfleger looked like he belonged on sat night live, if one did not know better, you’s think it was some political parody. Sadly, it was not. It is who Obama is, who he hangs around with, who he listens to, who he married, who baptized his children, and who he is loyal to.

"I have now given enough here to show that Obama can’t say that Pfleger is just some looney that he didn’t know very well."

I'm trying to picture B. Hussein saying that Pfleger is just some looney that he knows very well...

Pfleger's rant is comical. His mannerisms, delivery, emphasis and style are all exaggerated impressions of a typical black preacher. It looks so silly watching a white guy try to act black. If Wright were to speak at a white congregation, I'm sure he would deliver in his customary fashion. If this nutcase Phlegm were to speak in front of a predominantly white congregation, no doubt his delivery would be less "black" and he would be more in control and have a less affected delivery.

He needed a little makeup for his minstrel show.

One of the few consolations of this political season is watching the freak show that's unfolding on the dem side. Hillary might almost be credible if she hadn't uttered her most recent gaffe regarding RFK's assasination.

Of course, if she were still credible she would figure out some new way to blow it. Barack and Hilly have to be the most unbelievably incompetent pair of candidates that have ever run for office. This latest weirdness from the O-man's circle of "advisors" will probably drive most moderates into McCain's camp. If he doesn't totally blow it he should win, and he probably won't need conservatives to do so.

Hmm... this sounds awfully familiar! This man considers these people his “advisors”? And, he thinks he has enough intelligence to actually run the country? After 15-20 years he claims to know nothing about these men that are his advisors? He is either lying or completely dumb, blind, and naive - well, maybe a little bit of all of those...

Again, the more I hear the scarier it gets...
